Thanks for pointing this out. I intended to exemplify something like what I have
in my home directory:
In ~/Music, I have directories for each artist I listen to, then within those
I have directories for each album by that artist, then within _those_ I place
the audio tracks. So, for instance, my copy of Arch Enemy's "Wages of Sin" album
is stored as FLACs in "~/Music/Arch Enemy/Wages of Sin"
As another example, my ~/Documents directory contains directories for
Work, Schoolwork, and one entitled "Random Musings." Stuff I do for my job is
placed in ~/Documents/Work, while the "Random Musings" subdirectory is where
I store various poetry and/or articles I'm writing. Within the Schoolwork
subdirectory, I have one subdirectory for each class, so if I had something
for my physics class this semester, I'd store it in a directory path of
"~/Documents/Schoolwork/Phys 221" for example.
Hope that helps.
